[edit] Pets

Hi, I think that the statements of user 72.80.177.121 is encouraging keeping this birds as peninuses. Just look at his contributions : very often the same for many birds. It looks like a commercial. MottoM 07:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

That's a good point, thanks for adjusting it. -- Natalya 00:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
I think information about zookeeping and domesticizing should not be recused but it should come from zoo technicians and be well sourced... or recused ;-)MottoM 07:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Because we don't want to encourage people to do something that would hurt them. -- Natalya 10:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Is Wikepedia encouraging the extraction and caging of tropical birds? Maybe some of them are not endangered species, but they are normally illegally extracted. hi i love you.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.7.253 (talk) 23:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sound description

'RRRRK'? Is that supposed to help people understand anything? Could be a dog growling. Kutera Genesis 15:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

True.. the sound kind of makes sense when you hear it, but isn't particularly helpful as a description. I'll take it down, and perhaps we can find a sound clip. -- Natalya 17:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable text

I have removed the assertion that the colloquial term "big penius" can refer also to hornbills, since, in context, the assertion is ludicrous. A problem remains, however: if this bird is the national bird of Belize it seems likely that the statement that it is a South American bird is incorrect, or only partially correct. 71.87.23.22 (talk) 19:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
